South Carolina's Social Security requirement stops people from voting, federal lawsuit alleges
South Carolina is one of just four states that will not let someone vote unless they disclose their full nine-digit Social Security number on voter registration applications.
And in an era of identity theft that makes people wary of giving out their full Social Security numbers, that requirement makes South Carolina one of an “extreme minority” of states and is unconstitutional because it keeps eligible people from voting, according to a lawsuit filed by a Washington D.C. law firm in South Carolina’s federal court Monday against state election officials.
“Any application that does not include a potential voter’s full Social Security number will be rejected and the person will not be permitted to vote,” the lawsuit alleges.
The lawsuit, filed by the S.C. Democratic Party and the national Senate and House Democratic congressional committees, seeks an injunction to stop the State Election Commission from requiring full Social Security number disclosure on voter registration forms.
The lawsuit also seeks a ruling on whether South Carolina’s requirement is legal.
State Elections Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said the agency does not “comment on pending litigation.”

Behind the scenes, they use the same chart as "news" uses for shooters. Substitute "voter" at the top, and "fraud" at the bottom:
Of course they don't want to comment! If they did, they would show just how wrong they are.
